Essence Of The Orient

I always try and give fair reviews and this is a bit of a mixed one. This was the first time me and my friends had been here and the general look and atmosphere of the restaurant wasn't the best, unfortunately. The staff were lovely and friendly and they had a gluten free menu which was great for my friend who is Coeliac. The food was actually really good and I had probably the best yuk sung and salt n pepper chips I have ever eaten. The portions were good but the prices were all different from the menu to what was then noted on our receipt (most things had gone up by £1). When paying, we noticed the area behind the counter was really messy and covered rubbish and clutter, which made the place look dirty. Will I come back again? Yes! Just for the fact they had a gf menu and the food made up for the look and feel of the restaurant.

Best gluten free chinese in stafford. Loads of options on the menu. Staff are lovely and polite. Quality is always good.
